Olympus Stylus 1000 Review

by Tracey Capen

- Olympus's Stylus 1000 ($350 as of February 15, 2007) is one of a handful of weather-resistant digital cameras built for times when things get a little damp. But while the Stylus 1000 is an all-weather model, it's not waterproof, so don't take it snorkeling. Nevertheless, it is durable; and at less than 1 inch thick, it fits easily into a shirt pocket.

Overall Evaluation: This camera was a replacement for a damaged Olympus C-60 that I found to be very satisfactory.I did a lot of research for another camera and concluded that the Olympus 1000 was far superrior to other cameras with like charisticets and fit my needs. I would recomend the 1000 for those that want a quick and easy way to take quality pictures.

Duration of ownership:

Strengths: small, compact size. Metal casing.

Weaknesses: Slow to shot and also makes noise. Not sure what the noise is for.

Overall Evaluation: I bought this camera at a great price so I can't complain. It's a nice compact camera with 10MP. I'm not sure why it makes this strange noise though.
